Zend\Mime

This class represents a single part of a MIME message. It contains the actual content of the message part plus
information about its encoding, content type and original filename. It provides a method for generating a string
from the stored data. Zend\Mime\Part objects can be added to Zend\Mime\Message to
assemble a complete multipart message.

Zend\Mime\Part is instantiated with a string that represents the content of the new part. The type is assumed
to be OCTET-STREAM, encoding is 8Bit. After instantiating a Zend\Mime\Part, meta information can be set by
accessing its attributes directly:

getContent() returns the encoded content of the Zend\Mime\Part as a string using the encoding specified in
the attribute $encoding. Valid values are ZendMimeMime::ENCODING_*. Characterset conversions are not performed.

getHeaders() returns the Mime-Headers for the Zend\Mime\Part as generated from the information in the publicly
accessible attributes. The attributes of the object need to be set correctly before this method is called.

$charset has to be set to the actual charset of the content if it is a text type (Text or HTML).

$id may be set to identify a content-id for inline images in a HTML mail.

$filename contains the name the file will get when downloading it.

$disposition defines if the file should be treated as an attachment or if it is used inside the (HTML-) mail
(inline).

$description is only used for informational purposes.

$boundary defines string as boundary.

$location can be used as resource URI that has relation to the content.
